• Why is my hard disk so full, double the size of important things in the file Explorer?

  My 222 GB HDD is almost full (6.65 GB of free) but I can only represent 100 GB through to Explorer to count the volume of used, including hidden files - by looking at what is individual folders and their subfolders suggests that this lower position is correct. What takes all the space? Can we recover some of them? I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 on a Dell Studio 1535, equipped with a recovery of 10 GB drive (4.34 GB used). I did disk cleaning, including deleting past restore points, check the disk, Defrag, internet deleted files and searched malware. My maximum storage space is 33 GB and my pagefile is 3.97 GB. I started to compress the drive, but that seems to be dodging the real problem.

  Hello

  This option to delete is in Windows Disk Cleanup.

  And it will then remove those that are no longer seen work done on them for some reason any.

  Who has always been a scarecrow as recommended by Windows, or used, that you leave them there for a week and remove if they were still there even the work that Windows has been done on them, after a week, being finished.

  It has always been an unsatisfactory explanation for my reasoning.

  You can also get to them using the command: folder

  Here are some tips on this subject:

  First of all, as they are now known, run clean disc again, making sure that the Temp files for detected option is checked.

  And many people like to use this cleaning program too;

  But do NOT use the Registry Cleaner to this part.

  What to do if everything you do when you get this message?

  It is not completely unknown for an error message give wrong information about his cause.

  What process did you use to restore the backup?

  If, for example, you backed up and restored as a full score then the restored partition can be the same size as the original, even if there is space on the disk to expand it.

• How can I remove an unwanted operating system to free up space on my HARD disk almost full

  The drive is about 75 GB and has two partitions (C: and D readers :). There is a version of Vista on each partition.  My ultimate goal is to reformat the drive as one partition and reload the operating system, but I have found no way of formatting of disks, holding Vista. Help, please.

  Hello 771,

  I don't understand why Windows Disk manager would not allow a partition deletion or reformatting. I use this option during all this time without any problem of "system folders" etc.

  Take a look at these two links to my website and see if they help you:

  http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/format_partition_using_vista_dvd.htm

  http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

  Otherwise, you should eb able to erase/format the partition by using a part of htird partitioning application as Paragon Hard Disk manager or something similar.

  Paragon do a free Partition Manager (Paragon Partition Manager 11 free), check out the link below.

• Why Lightroom uses hard disk space if my catalog is in dropbox?

  I am new to Lightroom and love it so far. In addition to some external hard drives backup, I keep all my photos on Dropbox and am currently trying to build my library in Lightroom by importing my photos. Because I'll be editing my photos from multiple computers, I decided to move my Lightroom Catalog to Dropbox as well. This way I can continue to ensure coherence between several machines in my library.

  My question, however, is that whenever I have import photos, I seem to be consumes hard disk space on my computer. I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive. I know that I am using the correct catalog (also the catalog only I have for Lightroom) because use space has increased after my import on my dropbox catalog file.

  I don't know there's a logical reason - as I said, I'm new to Lightroom so always understand the ins and outs. But if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it a lot!

  Thank you

  By default copy of Dropbox (and synchronizes forever) all in your remote Dropbox folder on each device that you have connected to your Dropbox account.

  1 GB of files in your remote Dropbox folder will also chew up to 1 GB of space on each hard disk attached to the Dropbox account.

  The power of the box lies in its timing in order to always have the latest file available on any device connected to your Dropbox account. The compromise is that 5 appliances also each stores its own copy of the same file. Any changes made to any file on any device is synchronized by Dropbox.

  You can save space locally by allowing a selective sync in Dropbox and saying Dropbox folders to synchronize and copy it to the local disk and which ignores.

  Are you using the selective sync Dropbox?

  However, I am not convinced that selective sync will give you the workflow that you are trying to reach.

• Clone the hard disk, including Photoshop CS6, and now it works like a trial Extended CS6.  Why?

  I was running a licensed version of Photoshop CS6 on computer Dell Precision T3500 years.

  The hard disk was running out of space, so I disabled Photoshop CS6 (not uninstall), cloned successfully, all of the hard drive on a new larger hard drive, and then again CS6.  He now works as a trial Extended CS6.  Why?

  At this point, I'm not re-entered my serial number, since I did not purchase the extended version.

  I would she runs as just CS6 (not extended) and be able to activate it with the same serial number, I used before.

  (Over the years, I've updated since Photoshop CS2, in CS4, CS5, CS6 to - don't know if it matters in this case).

  Enter your serial number and your extended trial period will be converted to a full ch (not extended) when your serial number is evaluated.

• I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

  You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

  Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

  Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

• Why the HARD disk is partitioned into C & D on Satellite Pro C partition

  Why the HARD drive is divided and how to use it?

  It is important that the one that I use?
  It turns into one big disk?

  The manual says nothing about this.

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  The HARD disk is partitioned and contains two partitions. The C partition is the system partition that contains the Windows operating system. The second D partition contains data drive HARD recovery.
  HARD drive recovery allows you to establish the notebook back to factory settings without the recovery disk usage.

  But it s is strongly recommended to create the recovery disk! The user manual provides the info on that in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, the recovery disk allows you to recover the laptop.

  Of course, you can delete the D partition if you want to, but before doing so, you must create the recovery disk.

  However, my HARD drive contains 3 partitions. I created an extra. In my case, the C partition contains only system and the unique software. My files private like Mp3, movies, etc. are placed on the D second partition).
  The third partition (E) contains a folder with games.

• Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

  I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

  WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

  This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

  How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

  I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

  Thank you

  Hello just YOU

  Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

  Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

  Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

  Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

  Bye and good luck!

• Why does windows partition hard disk of 500 GB so that 60 GB fills the drive c, then d ' drive is empty (295 GB free)?

  Original title: hard drive partition

  Why does windows partition hard disk of 500 GB so that 60 GB fills the drive c, then d ' drive is empty (295 GB free)?

  It depends entirely on the Installer Windows at your partition layout described no.1 is not standard.

  By default on a totally blank disk Windows 7 installation will create two partitions. A system reservedMB 100 partition which will not have any drive letter and is not normally visible on computer. The rest of the disk will be the operating system.

  Your drive C is 60GB because someone chose her for this size. It seems that if the computer has been upgraded, 60 GB would have been appropriate for Windows XP.

• A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

  I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

  Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

  Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

  You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

• Why my asus s550c have a noise on the hard disk compartment?

  Why my asus s550c have a noise on the hard disk compartment? is this normal? pls response to my question as soon as possible.

  It is not normal. According to the ASUS card, your computer has two drives, a small module SSD used as a Cache and a regular SATA 750 GB drive.

  Will the sound of the engine in the 750 GB drive, and the reader will fail in the end, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

  The computer is slow to start? If it isn't, the noise can come from somewhere near the drive Bay, perhaps an internal cooling fan. You'd do better to check by a competent technician...

• Why Photoshop 7 "cannot save as because the disk is full"?

  Windows 8 / Photoshop 7. I spent more than $300 to solve this problem... repairs and upgrade 16 GB of RAM. Memory usage has changed to 84%. The C; / drive is 10% used, the D: / drive is 25% used. . I still get the warning message "cannot save (file) as because the disk is full.
